Purpose

Add cloud cover from McICA. The cloud cover is defined as the number of g-points that have a cloud in any layer divided by the total number of g-points. Cloud cover is defined for SW and LW separately because they have different numbers of g-points.

Corresponding change in ClimaAtmos: CliMA/ClimaAtmos.jl#4515

To-do

  • Run AMIP or aquaplanet and check if the cloud cover diagnostics are reasonable.
  • Tag a patch release - I made it backward compatible.

Content


  • I have read and checked the items on the review checklist.

Looks like a good and correct McICA implementation to me. Thanks!
